Sqm stock price has been reacting positively to global

SQM stock price has been reacting positively to global EV market growth data. A jump in battery demand forecasts for 2025 from industry leaders has pushed institutional buyers to accumulate SQM shares, anticipating longer-term lithium supply constraints. Another way to look at the profitability of a company is to compare its return on invested capital and the weighted cost of capital. Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. For the past 12 months, Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile SA's return on invested capital is 59.04, and its cost of capital is 12.77. NYSE SQM traded down $3.42 during trading hours on Tuesday, hitting $42.07. The company's stock had a trading volume of 875,318 shares, compared to its average volume of 1,272,226. The stock has a fifty day moving average of $41.17 and a 200 day moving average of $37.96. Sociedad Quimica y Minera S.A. has a twelve month low of $29.36 and a twelve month high of $47.51. The firm has a market capitalization of $12.02 billion, a P/E ratio of 25.25 and a beta of 1.06. The company has a quick ratio of 1.93, a current ratio of 2.92 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.70. Professional analysts suggest that the current SQM stock price already discounts a moderate drop in lithium spot prices for late 2024, leaving room for upside surprise if market tightness persists.
